Learn from All Traditions

Follow one religion, but learn from all traditions. Don't cling to your beliefs. Test all claims, believe only the most reasonable.

A religion that can't be tested can't be trusted.

A free and responsible search for truth and meaning" means, Rev. Paige Getty explains: 
As responsible religious seekers, we recognize that we are privileged to be free, to have resources to pursue life beyond mere survival, to continually search for truth and meaning, to exist beyond bonds of dogma and oppression, and to wrestle freely with truth and meaning as they evolve. 
To “continually search for truth and meaning” and to “exist beyond bonds of dogma and oppression,” means that you are free to travel your own spiritual path on your own unique journey. 

Many travel a ready-made path. But I think Jiddu Krishnamurti is right, “Truth is a pathless land.” 

But this might confuse some. No path? “Traveler, there is no path,” said Antonio Machado. “The path is made by walking.”

For me, Buddhism is the mot reasonable and evidence-based religion on the planet. The more I learn the wiser it is. But each must walk in their own light.
